✨ Giving Tuesday ✨

The holidays are a little harder these days. Hems To Help was born from my love for my mom and from trying to turn grief into relief… pain into purpose. Every home we help clean for a senior feels like a piece of her legacy living on.

If you’d like to support that mission today, your Giving Tuesday donation helps us continue serving seniors with care, dignity, and heart. 💛

Thank you for helping me honor her.
🧡💙💚

Thank you so much! 💫

People are always excited when we hand over a giant check for the CBS 17 3° Guarantee, but the ladies with Hems To Help were on a different level. We got 29 of 30 forecasts correct in June & that means $2900! The work they do to provide free cleaning services to seniors over 65 is amazing. Keep up the great work! Thanks as always to Michael & Son Services for supporting our charities too!

📣 WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Hems to Help is growing — and we’re in need of a color printer to keep up with our flyers, thank-you notes, and outreach materials. 📄🖨️

If you (or someone you know) has a working color printer you’re no longer using, we’d love to give it a new purpose — serving older adults in our community with love and dignity. ✨

We’re happy to provide a donation receipt — and lots of gratitude!

🖤 Honoring Mamie Phipps Clark:

A Legacy of Care & Community Service

At Hems To Help, we believe in service that uplifts and empowers. Today, we recognize Mamie Phipps Clark (1917–1983)—a psychologist and advocate whose work transformed communities.

Dr. Clark’s research on racial identity and self-esteem in Black children played a key role in the Brown v. Board of Education decision, helping to end legal school segregation. But her dedication to community care extended beyond the courtroom. She co-founded the Northside Center for Child Development in Harlem, providing mental health services, educational support, and advocacy for Black families.

Her legacy is a powerful reminder that investing in people strengthens entire communities. At Hems To Help, we honor that same spirit—serving older adults with dignity, care, and a commitment to making a difference.

Hazel Johnson (January 25, 1935 – January 12, 2011) – A Pioneering Force for Environmental Justice

Did you know that Hazel Johnson, known as the Mother of Environmental Justice, dedicated her life to fighting for cleaner, healthier communities? She founded People for Community Recovery, ensuring Black families had access to safe housing and clean water. Her work reminds us that a clean environment is essential for well-being—just like the mission of Hems To Help!

We honor her commitment to justice and healthier spaces for all. ✨

🖤Celebrating Black History 🖤

Sarah Boone (1832-1904)

At Hems To Help, we honor the contributions of Black women whose inventions made home care more efficient—just like the work we do for older adults.
Today, we’re highlighting Sarah Boone, a trailblazing inventor who revolutionized the way we iron clothes.

In 1892, Boone received a patent for an improved ironing board that was narrow, curved, and collapsible, making it easier to press sleeves and fitted garments. Before her design, ironing boards were simple wooden planks, often placed across chairs or tables. Her invention laid the foundation for modern ironing boards, bringing convenience and efficiency into households everywhere.

Boone’s innovation reminds us that small changes can make a big difference in daily life—just as Hems To Help strives to bring ease and care to the homes of older adults in our community.

Let’s continue to celebrate the brilliance of Black inventors who shaped home care and beyond!

🖤 Celebrating Black History: Dorothy Lee Bolden (October 13, 1924 – July 14, 2005) 🖤
✨ “If you clean up their mess, you should have a say.” – Dorothy Bolden

Dorothy Lee Bolden was a powerhouse advocate for domestic workers, ensuring fair wages and better working conditions. As a house cleaner herself, she founded the National Domestic Workers Union of America in 1968, organizing thousands of Black women who had been historically undervalued in their labor.

Her work paved the way for greater recognition of domestic work as essential labor and helped workers gain fair wages and protections. Today, Hems To Help continues the spirit of service with dignity, recognizing the strength, resilience, and impact of those who have cared for homes and communities for generations.

🙌🏾 Let’s continue to honor and uplift the contributions of Black women in labor rights!

🖤💛❤️💚
